GC Tennis Makes a Difference at Local Bake Sale

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College
tennis program and head coach Steve
Barsby were happy to help out Creekside Elementary
School Thursday by volunteering at their yearly bake sale to raise
money for Relay for Life.

“This was a great way for our student-athletes to give
back to the community,” said coach Barsby. “It’s
a good experience for our men and women to help out and give back
to the community that supports us. A bake sale is an excellent way
to raise money for Relay for Life and everyone came out a
winner.”

Four student-athletes participated in the event by selling baked
goods and interacting with the youths. The four GC student-athletes
that volunteered were women’s tennis players May
Johnson (Sydney, Australia), Bertille
Lion (Lyon, France) and Kayla
Barksdale (Augusta, Ga.). Men’s tennis sophomore
Wictor Andersson (Karlskoga, Sweden)
also participated in the event.

Men’s tennis travels to Erskine Friday, March 18 for a 1
p.m. start and women’s tennis squares off against the
University of Montevallo at home Sunday, March 20 at noon.
